<br />
1Password had a major incident that is not listed on the page. The issue is related to their old "standalone licenses", which many uses believed these to be perpetual license (aka Lifetime Licenses? - though I don't think these were ever marketed as such).<br />
<br />
People bought these standalone licenses and then 1Password forced them to into their subscription model as reported [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35882393 here] and [https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/upgrading-to-version-8-from-7/159414 here].<br />
<br />
The main issue ocurred from the transition from 1Password 7 to 1Password 8.<br />
<br />
Some further information:<br />
<br />
"''1Password 7 gave users a choice between a standalone license for the service or a monthly subscription on 1Password.com [...] However, there are still those who like to pay for a service only once and forget about it. For such users, 1Password is providing a trade-in discount where users can exchange their existing licenses to get 50% off for first 3 years.''"

'''<u>Potential text for the incident section</u>''':<br />
<br />
1Password’s so-called “lifetime license” (i.e., standalone license) was really a perpetual license for a specific major version, not unlimited future upgrades: 1Password 7 for Windows launched with standalone licensing on '''[https://app-updates.agilebits.com/product_history/OPW6 May 29, 2018]''', however, after the release of 1 Password 8, previous licenses would not be offered and previous versions would no longer be supported ([https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/upgrading-to-version-8-from-7/159414 source]), making 1Password effectively membership-only and pushing users toward a 1Password account. While existing 1Password 7 licenses did not expire, their end-of-life meant that users would likely bump on vulnerabilities (see comment by 1P_SimonH [https://www.1password.community/discussions/1password/upgrading-to-version-8-from-7/159414 here]).
